NOT A SOUL SURVIVES

ashore yesterday morning on Virginia

st twenty-five, instead Of fifteen, net a
man of whom was saved. This fact is

which were recovered yesterday were

On his person was a Photograph

letters addressed to Henry Kaulk-

a word was spoken between the ships
crew and the life saving men when
they boarded her in their desperate
attempt at rescue, and the cause OF the
wreck cannot be positively known,
although it is supposed that in at
tempting to make the canes OF Vlr-

currents which have caused eeveral

This evening a quantity of dynamite

whose body was badly mutilated. The
explosion caused the houses in the

ENCOURAGE THE MILITIA.
GEN. KING. OF TEXAS, URGES
Liberal APPROPRIATIONS
To Increase the Military POrce TO
QueIl Lawlessness, Violence
and BIOOdshed.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, January 9.-Adjutant
General KING, OF Texas, in his annual
report to Gov. leland, of that State,
very strongly urges the Legislature to
make liberal appropriations and en-
courage the militia, that it may be an
efficient militsry forcs in case of ne
cessity. He says a we'll equipped
force is imperative, because a deep
seated aud dangerous spirit of unrest
pervades every part OF the land, and
in many sections, ever our own, this
discomfort has taken the form OF open
lswlessness, violence and bloodshed,
and has assumed proportions, made
claims and asserted doctrines that
threaten the very existence OF the
States and of the Union. He then,
without specifically naming any par
ticular organization, gives a scathine
dendnciatiop, which is clearly aimed
at the Knights Of Labor, and adds:
"Under the mad and murderous teach.
ings OF communists and socialists thet 9
oath bound organic !tions have had
many strikes, have openly deded the
law, have beaten and abused and
sometimes killed people who only de-
sired to earn a living; have de-
stroyed property and murdered those
whose duty 1t was TO protect it; have
violently ilnteriered with the business
Of many States and caused losses to
many thousands Cf people who were
not responsible for any of the alleged
wrongs about which these secret or
CARNATIONS were complaining. In
view Of these things in the past, OF
their existence at present and Of their
prob able continuance for some time in
the future, it is the duty OF the several
States of the general government and
Of the order loving, law abiding patri-
otto citizons to meet force with force
at every point when and where it is
lawful and necessary. The Texas Leg

climate will be used IS we'll as those
common to both countries. The
work of ~transplanting will be done in
February next.
The tone of the English press is
most favorable to the Exhibition, and
all predict for ii a great success.
The Newcastle Chronicle speaking
editorially this week says: This is an
era OF exhibitions, and the latest
scheme for the jubilee year is to hold
an American exhibition in London
next May. The "Yankeries," ss it is
called already, will be located at
Esrl's Court, in Kensington. Amongst
the attractions provided will be "Buf-
ialo Bills Wild West Exhibit" The
idea Of holding such an exhibition is
certainly a Yankee notion; but We
may safely predict that the enterprise
OF our American cousins in crossing
the Atlantic to take such an important
part in the jubilee celebration will
meet with the hearty approval OF the
Old Country. Apart from its charac.
ter as an exhibition, it is a graceful
act, and one that viii go far to cement
the sympathies of the English speak
ing ace.
The weather here is something too
horrible almost to mention. l have
read many descriptions Of London
fogs, and thought l knew what thev
were like, but you may take my word
for it the English language is not capa-
BILE Of either doing justice to or ade'
oustely describing this awful blight,
SO l shall not attempt it. This is per
haps apropos of a very clever little
book called The Mystery Of The Shroud.
The shroud is the fog, and the story
begins with the abduction OF a Cabi-
nit Minister between his own doorstep
and his carrisge at the curbstone in
the impenetrable darkness of a black
fog, and his subsequent adventures.

How Ned Buntilne Lived

His time was pretty equally divided
''all summer in the field, all winter in the
study" In u letter to the writer he once
remarked that he had no love for the
cities, but was happiest in the camp, with
the music of birds and breeze and rustling
branches and flowing waters around him.
His hunting experiences embrace all kinds
of game, and his rambles with gun and
rod extended to every quarter OF the
United States. He preferred buffalo, elk
and antelope hunting to all other field
sports, and in angling cared for only
salmon and trout fishing. His library,
sanctum and armory, he remarked, were
one. Gun cases, sabres, fly rods, pistols,
etc, could be seen in every corner, and
around his bookcases were many relics Of
the field and stream, The picturesque
sanctum of the novelist and sportsman is
carefully kept in order by loving hands,
and the casual visitor Mt the Eagles Nest
may behold it In much the same condition
as when the gifted Ned Buntline lived

a curious case of treasure trove is re-
ported from Bukowina, an Austrian duchy
on the confines of Roumania, Moldavia
and Russia. 1t appears that some thirty
years since II rich American named Tala-
kar was murdered by a band of robbers.
With him the American had 10000 ducats
concealed in little wooden casks, which
were hidden in his carriage. The ~rascals
made off with the booty, and Us no time
could be spent in dividing their spoil they
agreed to deposit it for the time beinu in
II large kettle, which they buried in an
adjacent forest. Before their purpose was
effected the fellows were caught, and as
martial law was in force at the time they
were speedily disposed of. One of them,
before being hanged, confessed the muir
der and gave explanations relative to the
hidden treasure. On hearing of the affair
the villagers set to work with spade and
hoe, but all their digging only brought
earth worms to the surface.
Since her three decades have passed
away and the story has become n legend,
known least of all to the dark sons of the
Italian plains who came to Gurahumora
to assist in the construction of the roads.
They found a stone which impeded their
progress, and before using dynamite tried
to dislodge it. 1t yielded to their efforts,
int the lost money lay before their eyes.
The Italians took possession of the gold
and made off to Roumania as quickly MS
possible. They disappeared so rapidly
that on the following day $50 ducats were
found lying on the grass near the empty
vessel, which nave been deposited with
the parochial board of Gurahumora.-SaI

Generally the eye first rests upon one Of
the numerous beggars, h are always at
hand, muttcring their words OF praise to
the donor of n penny or their curses to the
unheeding passenger. The majority are
blind, or pretend to be so, and each one
has his preferred spot, where he sits in
his rags, perfectly oblivious to all but his
own wants Others are ~hideously manned,
and the offensive part is always held up to
view, III the hope of exciting pity. These
are mostly men. The women II children
have their beaten track, over which they
follow people and implore aims. They
seem to go no further, and often by the
emphatic repetition of ''hiddy git" we rid
ourselves of them sooner. We seldom see
them rewarded, except by Turkish sub
jects, and 1t is said that they give freely,
as the Koran requires 1t of them. They
are particularly generous on all days of
special religious observance. At such
times these beggars congregate In the most
attractive places, and doubtless make large
sums. -Constantinople Cor. San Francisco
Chronicle.
